General information
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a wide array of degenerative neurological conditions which cause progressive nerve damage, resulting in a loss of mobility and vision, and ultimately death.
This specific variant of the disease analysed in this test is variously referred to as Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 4A (NCL 4A), Cerebellar Cortical Abiotrophy, Cerebellar Cortical Degeneration, Cerebellar Ataxia or Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). It occurs in the American Staffordshire Terrier, and is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene ARSG.
Clinical features
Affected dogs have late-onset and slowly progressive behavioral changes, cognitive and motor degeneration, ataxia, seizures, and premature death.
